Well, everytime I need it to work it doesn't (and thus CC
doesn't work
either). Thats my impression. Also  I don't really see the
use-case, but
maybe thats because I have variables that explain what type
they have...

Well, for me the progress bar doesn't work properly. There
seem to be 2
progress bars "doing something" also. And kdevelop
is usable before the
progress bar is finished. Also I suspected this to be the
c++ parser,
but I don't see why it would run every time I open a project
(where no
files are open!). Thats just completely useless, the
"wait" mouse-cursor
is indicator enough that kdevelop does something (for me
that is).

Then you should have reported your problems when that stuff
was in 
development. For me CC works quite ok now, in about 95% of
all cases in 
kdevelop-4 source.

Yes sometimes that progress-bar thing happens. See comment
above. However I 
don't see what that has to do with kdevelop-4's
status-displayer.

Personally I think something like a status-bar would be
useful, at least 
something is needed to show for example the
parsing-progress.

It would also be great if there was some kind of filterable
log available, for 
debugging and also later for problem-reporting. A normal
user could 
copy-and-paste messages from the log and ask for help.

greetings, David
